So here I am back with another biryani recipe – Malabar Style Mutton Biryani. It is spicy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. You cook the meat in Malabar style masala and prepare rice separately. Then finally layer the meat masala and cooked rice on dum for about twenty to thirty minutes, to make this scrumptious Malabar…

Here is another lip smacking dish made of squid – roasted squid or koondal varattiyathu. Usually when I get fresh squid, I make either Roasted Squid or Spicy Squid Fry. Both are equally delicious. While fried squid is a dry side dish, roasted squid has thick gravy, and is perfect to be had with hot appams,…

Steamed chicken dumplings or steamed kozhi ada is a gluten free snack. You may have it as a meal too, as it is quite filling. So whenever I make these steamed chicken dumplings for tea-time, we have them for dinner too. Kids too love to have them. Make it less spicy for kids. The filling…

Dahi Bhalla is one of my favorites. Dahi bhalla is similar to dahi vadas, as popularly known in South India. I fell in love with this dish when my Aunt prepared it once and packed some to take home. Since then I have planned to make it some day, but the day never arrived. It was then,…

Meen pathiri is a very tasty snack, again, from Kerala, especially the Malabar region. If you are an avid follower of my blog, you would have noticed that many of my dishes are from the Malabar cuisine. And that is because, I belong to this wonderful land of foods, rich in flavors and tastes. So…

Kashmiri Pulao is a very special rice recipe. This traditional dish from Kashmir bursts with flavors and is packed with the goodness of dry fruits and fresh ones too. The original recipe calls for cooking rice in milk. But in this version of mine, the rice is cooked in rich coconut milk and flavored with rose essence. The subtle sweetness…

Everybody would have their own recipe for making gobi manchurian. So here is mine. The dry version of gobi manchurian. I love the gravy too, but the majority prefers dry bites. It’s quite easy and interesting to just pick up and gobble those little florets covered in spice and flavors. Who would not like to have some of these with hot hot naan or kulcha. The combination is just yummmm. So the next time you get some fresh cauliflower, instead of making the same old veg korma or curries, do try this easy and delicious dish. Serve hot with roti,…
